History
The school was established in March 1861 as St Joseph High School and closed a few months later due to the Civil War. It re-opened in 1864. On May 8, 1895, the cornerstone was laid for a new building at 13th & Olive Street. The building opened on May 6, 1896. In 1907 a second high school was built in the city thus St. Joseph High School was renamed St. Joseph Central High School. In 1932, a new Central High School was established at 26th & Edmond Street. [2] With a rapidly growing student population, the school expanded in 1961 with a 24-room addition, now called the Sophomore Annex (or Sophomore hallway). In 1968, the 25-room addition now known as the Freshman Annex (or Freshman Building). A bond-renovation project was completed in 2002 that included relocation and centralization of the administrative and counseling offices, as well as the addition of a new media center and library, a gym renovation, and science lab upgrades. In 2013, the Morgan Multipurpose Building was established including with it being locker rooms, a weight room, space for office, training rooms, and more classrooms. [3]
